- In part 24 of the 2 month camping trip, I'm fishing a stream with a road that runs close to it making for somewhat easy access but that didn't slow the fishing down...big fish live in this small stream and they are crazy pretty! Near the end of the day I find a hole that was loaded with fish. Back at camp I ran into some locals who asked how the fishing was...I told them about my day on this stream and they were STUNNED. They COULD NOT BELIEVE I caught any quality trout from this stream. All they had ever caught were kokanee and 8 inch trout...this some statement has been made several other times as others recognize the stream from the video and private message me!
I was completely shocked my the landscape I found in Idaho, I felt like I was camping and fly fishing in a rainforest. The only thing prettier than the landscape were the native westslope cutthroat...the one near the end was stunning! But the craziest thing was watching ash fall from the sky at the end of the day. A video for the flies and rig is linked below.

Ya know what I like most about this guy's videos? No crazy music and he's not always running his mouth.
Can’t get better than the sound of the stream
My thoughts exactly. I was thinking how glad I was he wasn't jabbering through the whole thing.
Exactly. Peace and quiet and a minimum of comments. That’s the way to do it!
I agree....it's like the computer fire or the computer aquarium you can turn on and watch....you can do the same thing with this and it's a lot better.
And he doesn't do the whole KVD bassmaster Hookset
Watching this from Australia. That's the most beautiful stream / creek I've ever seen. Amazing. Cant wait to visit the States again. Such an amazing country.
and no crocs! ;-)
@@Jojoboogie I love some good dangerous reptiles too
@@Jojoboogie lol...
But there are mountain lions, bears and some states have wolves and grizzlies.
I forgot about the fish. Man, how pretty is this stream.
That stream is beautiful
It's like Bob Ross himself painted it
So happy he let that be the audio track track didn't talk, it was very beautiful and serene to hear and look at
Life is splendid.
Fly fishing a creek like this is difficult enough without trying to film it. This is a master class on how to do it. Well Done!
It makes me happy to see how gentle You are with the fish, when Yoy release them
That bridge reminds of my trout fishing days in the early 70’s as a kid,on the outskirts of Carson city nev. we would drive slowly over the bridge and could see the trout in the truckee river. Absolute fabulous time and place to grow up as a kid ! !
Sounds like great memories!
Fishing truly does evoke nostalgia for me also. It’s not until you look back that you can really appreciate the beautiful times and surroundings 👍
@Johnny Sins you’re frickin wierd
THANK YOU FOR NOT TALKING OVER THE WONDERFUL MUSIC A STREAM PUTS OUT... I COULD CLOSED MY EYES AND BE THERE LISTENING TO THE STREAM GURGLE, AND THE FISH SPLASH, TAKES ME OUT OF THE HELL HOLE IM STUCK IN ( WORK) AND GAVE ME A FEW MOMENTS. MUCH APPRECIATED
That is the most stunning stream I have seen in a long time! Awesome stuff!
It was a special one for sure!
I was thinking just that when I started the video. This is picture perfect.
@@Uli_Krosse Count me in on that, first thought was "That's the prettiest fishing hole I've ever seen!"
this is the most beautiful stream i've ever seen in my life... the picturesque ferns, the vegetation overhang quaint bridge, amazing :D ty for sharing, great fish too! wish i had access to that!
Me TOO Jim Bob
@@1122baum Me too
That is the most beautiful stream. The water quality looks amazing.
where is this?
you're right, makes me want to jump in
*THOUSANDS of SUCH the STREAMS in EUROPE !!! - Poland , Czechia, Slovakia , Slovenia, Croatia and others.*
I wanna take a drink!!
Amazing water clarity and fishery. A few of those looked like rainbows.
Found a few bows in the mix and one small bull but couldn't find it in the footage lol!
I envy you my friend. Reminds me of when I live and fished for trout there. I also agree with the guy about the no music and little talk , the brook babbling was good enough. Good video skillful fisherman.
I have been fishing the Driftless Area regularly for 35 years, I still love it….but the videos of your trip west are amazing. This one might be my favorite of the ones you’ve visited. Thanks for sharing.
watching you wet your hand before touching the fish . . . An oldtimer taught me that, like, first thing. He was quite ADAMANT about it! LOL Great videos. Thanks
I noticed that! Why is he doing it?
@@adamsanchez8230 if you grab a fish with dry hands, you could remove the protective film on it’s skin
It reduces damage to the fish :)
@@adamsanchez8230 Trout are delicate. they have no scales. You can easily damage their skin.
@@monmixer trout have scales
The way you silently walk along the trails and waters edge makes me feel like im really there. Studying the runs, casting where I would. I'm impressed that you can hold back some verbal excitement sometimes when you set into a decent sized fish in a modest hole and didn't expect it. I lost count how many you pulled out of that big V log hole in this video. Drew you need to let us know if you need any fishing, camping or fly tying stuff. Keep the awesome videos coming.
Thanks a ton. Talking isn't something I'm known for...just do it when I have something to say. Until then, I let the stream add the narrative!
@@LooknFishy I agree 100% on less talking. The scenery and environment is what we all need to be listening to more of. And also your doing a splendid job of handling and releasing these fish. I'm spending some time in Idaho next summer post run off and I've been mapping some old favorite spots as well as some new ones.
So much more enjoyable to listen to a babbling brook than a babbling commentator.
Your trips to small streams throughout the Rockies & Driftless areas are a great educational resource for us fly fishers who seek the DIY fly fishing experiences. Thanks for sharing.
Glad to do it. Diy has been good to me...I like learning the areas on my own. Even in the struggle, I can appreciate what a guide offers!
absolutely stunning Drew, you find the best spots
Idaho was good to me!
As I watch you fish, each time the indicator pauses I set the hook with you. Great Videos, thanks
I dig when the dry drops!
It wouldn’t mattered if you caught anything. That stream is worth the walk.
fax
Beautiful scenery, Drew, and beautiful fish! Thanks.
Wow, great skills on display and was surprised that there were that many fish holding to the shadows of those trees. Surprised they all didn't spook from all the fighting and commotion. Kind of unsettling with the ashes and the fires, too.
That was such a cool stream. I wasn't expecting that hole to be so productive but glad it was...climbing into spot took some effort lol!
Drew, the cast skills between those logs and landing fish caught on branches was very cool! Stay safe buddy, looking forward to the next video!
Appreciate the good vibes!

that water is crystal clear. Great find! I love finding place like that. Same with ponds that no one has fished or not in a long time. I've fished streams that get hit hard and the fish just stare at everything offered.
Nice stream with lots of fish willing to take a fly. Impressive casting in tight quarters. Gentle and quick release of fish. Very nicely done. Thanks for posting.
You’ve caught more nice fish this trip than I have in a lifetime. Your stream finding skills are off the charts! Takes a huge time investment I know, but still impressive.
I only have one hobby and don't watch much TV besides sports so I have plenty of time in the winter to dig into maps and stuff! So worth it when I find gems like this!
Firstly, you need a good looks to catch fishes or loads of moneys.
4:45 6:50 15:11 WOW. Really appreciate the skills you show on your channel. Inspiring and allows me to live vicariously through your fishing trips. Thanks Drew
Happy to share how I do it!
I second that…
A hidden treasure and an unforgettable day's fishing, thank you for showing it to us, pretty stream too.
Beautiful setting and amazing fishing. Those trout were great eating size and looked like a hybrid of brook,brown,and rainbow trout.
Awesome video man. I love that you appreciate nature and don’t give out thr location of this luxury. Nowadays if people knew where this was the fish would be gone in a month. Great video!!
You are truly blessed with incredible scenery & awesome fishing….
Fortunate in many ways, thank u!
I love it . Reminds me when i lived in Colorado and fished in the mountains for trout . Beautiful.
Sooooo damn peaceful. Just listen to that rushing water. No cars, no people, no cell phones, no loud music.…..thank you.
Solid work player… Nice stream and perfect fish…
Amazing how you were able to fish between the fallen trees!
Haha, if you thank that was amazing you should have seen how I climbed over those trees to get in!
Gorgeous location and fish. Thanks for sharing so much.
Great location😁. Awesome fish. Beautiful area!! It just don’t get any better than that!! Thanks for sharing Drew!!
So true, hard to imagine a better outing!
The coolest feeling in the world to me is the feeling of the fish slipping through your hands when you release it.
For sure!
Not if you live in the backcountry
🤣🤣
i sometimes have dreams of fly fishing. this location looks even nicer.
Definitely what I dream about when I dream of fly fishing lol!
What river is this you know ?
yes wats the location?
Been seeing lots of beautiful cutties on your channel. I'm on the East coast and get up in the hills to chase brookies. Lots of fish, but that's not entirely why I'm there. Saw a deer give birth to twins while I was eating lunch. I guess she realized that it was now or never. I just chilled and went about my business, quietly. She did her thing while I watched. She got her kids hidden and went off to eat, or so I figured. I finished lunch, and backed out quietly. If I live to be a thousand, it will be among the top memories of my existence. This is why we do what we do.
Wow, pretty sure that's not something many will ever see and a great reminder of of all the life happening around us while we're out there! Very cool!
That nice glow and warmth of benevolence you experience when you let go off the caught fish back into the stream/river.
Great to see the growth of your channel! Well deserved.
That 3rd fish gave you quite the battle. That's awesome sir!!
Had better places to be!
Very impressed I fished many New England Brook Streams and Rivers beautiful . Thanks for sharing Your Day of Joy.
Makes me want to try my hand at fly fishing again. Spot on placement, excellent pov, and great handling of fish.
I took a class and it really helped me with the fundamentals. I've got a long way to go to get to Drew's level but the hands on teaching helped alot.
Awsome trout and fishing - what a "loggy" spot :-), Cheers Torben, Denmark
Right on, thank u!
@@LooknFishy
Arctic Grayling?
@@LooknFishy Wyoming sounds and looks a cool place to be, especially with the Great fishing thanks for sharing
That's what I do here in Kentucky. I have a personal favorite stream, it's a little hike in the woods. As soon as the hook hits the water I have a fish.
That sounds like a great time!
I fished offshore South Florida for over 30 yrs, moved to Kentucky two years ago. Lotsa fish here, lakes and rivers
@@jakeroberts7435
I'm looking forward to the colder seasons when the fish are even more plentiful. Walked around a small lake big pond, caught 5 good sized bass
@@davidpavely4539 I've only recently started freshwater fishing in Kentucky, and I'm not yet used to cold weather. In Florida we didn't eat the bass, or any freshwater fish, they make you glow in the dark. I've been eating a lot of catfish and bass here, I'm liking Kentucky. But I'm having trouble with my green thumb that l never had, its a learning experience. I live right by the Green River, the one CCR sang about, its damn sure green. 😂
@@jakeroberts7435
Green River is a nice place to be
Glad the trip worked out so well. You got the touch!
Was a super trip!
There are streams like that in VT & NH, So clear, you just want to take a drink ! Great video Sir !
my thought also--looks like a snow mobile bridge also
I love your way of fishing ! I want to try one time fishing like that in your country or some where like that, and have a chance to grill trouts and taste it ! so relaxing ! thank you very much !
The scenery in those opening minutes doesn’t even look real. Like an idealized movie set or a giant man-made aquarium. Amazing.
I have almost forgotten what such clear water looks like (Living here in lower Michigan). Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us less fortunate on the Net!
What a lovely part of America and little camping trip all came together with some fine trout fishing 👍
Aaa, finally some good stuff, would love to see more dries tough. Damn good job Sir
I offer then the dry/dropper...their choice after that lol. Been a steady mix of surface and sub surface action!
Drew, another great video. Awesome stream with some very nice size and active/hungry trout. Love the fight that some of them gave you! Pretty much like you, I very much like to fish where others do not. I spend as much time as I can (which is a bit more now that I recently retired) fly fishing many locations in the CA Sierra as well as my home state of PA when I get back there to visit. Walking several miles or breaking through thick brush or crawling on hands and knees to get to a good spot is never a question but simply the journey and experience. Recently spent a week in NorCal mountains with a group of friends and just killed it with lots of wild trout (rainbows and browns). Most landed and released and a few that left just a memory and a reason to return again someday. Anyway....did have one Q for you? Do you have a fav app that you use for finding and navigating to some of these out of the way spots? I have looked at a few but not chosen any yet. Currently, I just use online maps and my instincts to guide me. thx, Jude
Thank u. No, like you I use maps and don't use apps. Might someday but I have more confidence in maps...always worried electronics will fail or need maintenance. I have a video on my channel, should be in the 7k mile playlist for this trip that covers how I find my spots. All I used for this series.
What a beautiful location and an excellent day of fishing. The fish were just gorgeous.
You are an amazing fly fisherman. I’m so impressed with the reality that you do it all yourself. It’s a nice departure from watching the “pros” here on RUclips that require a local guide lead them around by the hand to every location they film at. Hopefully in the future you are comfortable enough to begin narrating and create tutorials- thank you -Travois
Thank u for the kind words. Got several up right now in my tips playlist. And 2 more I shared this week!
When I saw those fallen trees I was hoping there was a pool under there, that was amazing! getting those last few out was great to watch, thanks for sharing all of it! Will you ever share the areas you went? Just curious how far away some of those places are from us :)
Was a good day! There are clues in the series for those that follow the adventure. But probably won't specifically name an area for fear it'll attract the wrong type of person!
I've lived my whole life fishing water that looked like this, because I was born in Idaho. Watching the world react in awe in this comments section confirms just how special and rare these places are in the world. Please don't come to visit, and if you do, tread lightly.
Its rare for me to watch videos on anything of interest from beginning to end but man you have the right combination to keep me glued. Keep up the fantastic fishing.
That's great to hear, never know what works best...appreciate the feedback!
That sure was a sweet stream... so many beautiful fish that you caught. Thanks for sharing!
Just found your site and it's the best I've seen. Thank you for videos and insight.
Thank u for the kind words!
Gorgeous stream. Perfect for a little 3 wt rod. Thanks!
That is a beautiful stream and great fish as well!
Beautiful, healthy, strong fish and gin-clear water. Great combination. Thanks for sharing!
Hard to argue that logic!
Such a beautiful creek, tks for sharing
Wow beautiful water and nice fish......Thanks for sharing
Thanks Buddy. Very pretty stream. Good fishing. I can hear the stream. All Good.
Good to hear!
Really like your reaction to those extremely subtle takes. Nice work!!
Beautiful stream. Beautiful fish. Well done.
Ah Drew your channel is growing like a mad man! I knew it would! Keep up the quality content.
The water is so crystal clear. I love it.
Those are my favorite kind of streams to fish. I love those small trout creeks.
What a beautiful place.. The water so clear and clean... Amazing..
What a healthy little creek! Those fish look very happy!
Great video with some really nice catches (scenery is beautiful too!)!
Wonderful thanks for sharing, we need to work hard to preserve places like this for future generations! #protectpubliclands
Nice. Enjoy watching your videos.Tight lines and screaming reels always!
Glad to hear it, thank ya!
Great RUclips on small stream fishing for trout! Huge cuts and rainbows for such a small stream with little pocket water. These look like stream-reared, rather than stockers (square tails). To me, this is what separates the men from the boys. Catching this quality of fish this close to a bridge. This had to be fished many times. You keep working areas where you suspect there will be at least one trout. Even very small pockets. And are rewarded. It's amazing how such a small stream can support so many large trout per acre of water. This is the type of fishing my Dad used to talk about.
Definitely wild fish! Wasn't expecting much from the stream with a road and the traffic I saw on it but it was too pretty to drive past without trying!
@@LooknFishy Ever thought about doing this professionally? I know if you were closer, I would pay you.
Nice cut throat trout. I enjoyed fishing little streams like that when I was in Idaho
Wow the spot your at reminds me so much of the creek I grew up on in Alabama! Really great video my friend! Stay safe and God bless
Having only tried fly fishing a handful of times in my lifetime i can appreciate how good an angler you are. I’m used to using float tackle rigs which is infinitely easier. Thank you for posting this great video, and as the previous gentleman said, I love the fact that I can hear exactly what you did. Marvellous 👍
Grew up on the conventional side but always felt like trout should be caught on the fly. Taught myself about 15 years ago and its changed how I fish now. Thanks for the good vibes!
If you live in the USA, Bass Pro & Cabelas have FREE CASTING LESSONS in the spring (usually on Saturdays) on the weekends. But if you go into either place & tell them that you need some help learning & someone who is more experienced than you to help you, they almost always help. Also local fly shops are an excellent place to find a professional instructor, mine is K&K in Overland Park, KS. Many fly fisherman/women there that is willing to help you get better. I learned to cast on the football field of my local high school when I was 35. It just takes time & practice. Keep @ it. ITS TOTALLY WORTH IT. ..Happy Hunting.
@@LooknFishy thank you for taking the Time to respond drew. Born and bought up in central London kind of locks you into the more conventional methods, however London isn’t that big so I reckon an hour in any direction by car would lead you to a fly fishing lake. Like I said though it’s not that accessible when your young . I love watching all manner of river ( creek) fishing from the U.S. you enjoy much more predatory species and seem to find big fish in small places. I especially enjoyed the fight you had with the trout 👍 they really do put on a show.
There’s a video on RUclips called fishing in Kingston upon Thames, which is where I live. I don’t know the blokes but it’ll give you an insight into what it’s like on the river Thames.
Anyway, I hope this message finds you and your family in good health,
Kind regards,
Les.
@@mr.robinson1982 hello mr Robinson, thank you for your kindness and time in responding to me. I have also messaged drew to say thank you and chat about my fishing situation. I find it so amazing that people like your good self and drew extend kindness and courtesy to others. I hope also that you and your family are all well and once again thank you for your help.
Kind regards,
Les
Those pools and drifts were full to the brims with trout. Amazing fishing.
I dig those kinda pools!
Oh my goodness ... how beautiful that river and forest and the fish of course ...
Beautiful, peaceful, crystal clear water and healthy trout! ❤️🙏😇🇺🇸
Truth!
Stunning stream! Looking almost NZlandish.
That's some crystal clear water. I have been considering moving to Idaho. This video makes me want to even more.
Crazy beautiful state!
Great footage and nice fish, like the fact you include getting snagged up on a branch. This is real life fishing, nice and wild and fishing in tight places. Here in the UK I'm very lucky to have great fishing too with some real big Brown Trout on my doorstep. Thanks for sharing. Take buddy.
Those are some quality fish! Great video.
A very nice surprise!
Thanks for this beautiful footage!
I was lucky enough to find several streams, just like yours here, also in Idaho. Great state for the fly fisherman!! Kudos.
I also spent some time in Idaho. Far and away the best trout fishing i have ever seen from 3 to 63 never seen better.
awesome speckled trout. very clean stream. nice to take a bath in
Stream must be packed with fish!! Loving your videos, all thriller no filler 👌🎣
Good job. That cast and float at 6:00 was perfect. It's casts like that, that make me say to myself "even if a fish didn't take, wow, perfect, or I should of caught one that time".
Sometimes that's all I hope for...just a good presentation. In most cases, if a fish is there, it will respond, if we execute properly...and that's really all I hope for!
Wow! I can't get over how many fish were holding in that one spot without spooking, and quality size fish at that. I know one thing the casting you did between those two down trees is deserving to catch some fish. Nice job drew! enjoyed the video. Until next time. 👍👍👍
Thank u, that spot was definitely a good time!
Beautiful scenery. Good size trout too
Just beautiful landscape!
Wow... small but beautiful trouts 👍🏻
I love this video! It's nice that you don't fill your videos with meaningless chatter. A little talk is fine but this is very peaceful! Thank you and God bless!
Thank u, I let nature and the sounds found outside do the talking!
The bite was onnnnn! Love those days! Nice job!
Need more of it in my life!
Hey all - sweet video by the way! Gorgeous fish in a small stream, best setup there is!
Im not sure why I chose this humble channel and gathering to unload this on, guess its just fate. I dont much watch flyfishing vids these days but YT served me up this one out of the blue, so dont blame me! Being down a few glasses of good vino is not hurting this cause as well.
I am wondering if anyone else out there in hard core flyfishing land has ever, one day, just totally lost it regarding anything to do with the sport....
Humor me with just a bit of background....born in Colorado, and my dad worked next to the legend who was Jim Poor, owner of Anglers All in Littleton Co, outside of Denver. This was before he went full time in the shop, and still had a day job. Jim took a liking to my dad, and over the next 40 years they were best of friends, and for those who knew Poor, outside of his shop, they would know that he hung out with very few people on that level. I happened into this deal, with my dad throwing me in the rivers right about the same time I figured out how to walk. Nice fate!
I cut my teeth in the Eagle, Fryingpan and Gunnison Rivers in the late 70s/early 80s, going to school in Gunnison, and with a smattering of the Deckers area runs thrown in for good measure. Throughout the 80s and 90s, thanks to the Poors, my dad and I spent a lot of those years on the South Island of New Zealand for around 6 weeks in Jan/Feb. The Poors were pioneers in figuring out the South Island, when no one else besides a few local Kiwis had even taken up flyfishing. Let's just say that was heaven on earth for a young, couldnt get enough, flyfisherman.
Then in 2010 I found myself out in the middle of nowhere of Eastern Utah, in what is know as the Uinta Basin. I worked as a wellsite geologist, running my own show as a contractor, with every day to myself after noon or so. I happened upon a very fishy looking river which is basically a combination of Ute Res and State of Utah property, and resolved to check the place out, as there was no one ever on the river. As suspected, early spring nymphing produced browns up to a totally ridiculous 5-6 lbs, with the average around 2-3. Later into the summer, sunset dry fly sessions during the PMD hatches was as orgasmic as I had ever experienced, N.Z. included. I would show up every evening right before the sun went behind the hill, and fished until I could no longer see what the hell I was doing. Leading 4-5 pound browns on the rise with a #16 PMD in glassy, spring creek like slicks was beyond description. I would lose count of those hooked, with plenty brought to the net. I would walk out of there in the dark with a flashlight, which reminded me of 11 pm takeouts in the dead of summer on the Big Horn, watching for the break in the weeds, again with a flashlight, in order to see the takeout at 13 mile. This was before the streetlights were installed! All this while I would only very occasionally come upon a hapless guide out of Provo trying to get his clients into some fish in the nymphing runs, so I never had anyone within sight of the water I tended to work, ever. It was literally my private preserve.
Then, one curious evening, I showed up as usual, but something was not quite right. I felt fine, just didnt seem to be into it like normal. I geared up as usual, waded across to my place on the river, but for some reason I just decided to watch the fish do there thing, without having any desire to mess with them. That evening changed everything, as I have not fished since. That was over 10 years ago. I just lost it for harassing trout. Totally and completely. I still love waking the banks of mountain streams and the like, just nothing there for seeing what is in there.
So, I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else...I suspect it takes the better part of a lifetime to get to that point - I was like 55 when that happened, flyfishing since I was little. I have no problem with this whole deal, as I trust the intelligence of the universe to such things, and have just left it at that. Anyone seeing this who can relate at all please hit me up! Thanks!
